In my lifetime, China lifted 850 million people out of poverty, while the US created one trillionaire. It is clear as day that socialism is the key to our future.

I respect the social need for intellectual role models.

But there's no reason to go around trying to stitch together anything passable out of the flimsy, tattered rags of Chomsky's reputation when Losurdo wrote an incredible library of over two-dozen spectacular books.

“Palestine demands more from us than just our support and solidarity, our artwork and national marches. It demands our resistance.”

When I say the US is a crazy rogue state, I'm not exaggerating.

Look at US votes at the UN: The US constantly votes against the entire world.

This vote on protecting UN personnel was 153 to 1.

The US empire, which wages nonstop war, is one of the main obstacles to world peace.

65+ cities saw protests today against Trump’s escalating war drive on Venezuela. On Friday, the administration officially declared the neo-colonial Monroe Doctrine to be its guiding policy towards Latin America and the Caribbean.

The day of action was initiated by @answercoalition , and endorsed by @codepink , @peoplesforumnyc , @Blacks4Peace , @wearedissenters , @pslnational , @DemSocialists and others.

These are the kind of conversations that need to start. The US is talking about annexations, bringing aircraft carriers, closing airspace, blowing up boats without warning. It's time to think on the scale proportionate to that.

Today, the US Department of War is installing border militarization buoys in our Rio Grande River.

Trump Admin wants to eventually install 17 miles of deadly "murder buoys" to harm people in our river.

Elected officials must denounce these buoys!!!

It's extremely unusual for a governmental body (a city, a school district, etc.) to sue the attorney general over a public information request.

Starbase has only been a city for six months — and the city has already sued @TXAG twice.

If Maduro really was a monstrous tyrannical dictator the US would be selling him F-35s.

Had a deeply enriching conversation with Lara Sheehi and the Journal of International Solidarity Podcast on psychic militancy and the disconnects between struggles in the imperial core and peripheries. We opened up by talking about the latest on the @Prisoners4Pal hunger strike.

Donald Trump has officially pardoned and released one of the worst drug traffickers on Earth.

Juan Orlando Hernández (known as JOH) was the US-backed right-wing dictator of Honduras.

JOH was convicted -- by a US court! -- of trafficking more than 400 tons of cocaine (and machine guns). He personally collaborated with El Chapo Guzmán.

Ironically, although JOH was a close US ally, his drug-trafficking operations were so enormous and had such a big (and negative) impact on US society that the US Justice Department started investigating JOH during Trump's first term, when JOH was still the dictator of Honduras.

JOH came to power after the US government supported a right-wing military coup against Honduras' democratically elected left-wing president in 2009. (That was under Obama and Hillary Clinton. US imperialism is bipartisan.) Washington then propped up two corrupt right-wing coup regimes in Honduras, which were run by drug dealers.

Why did Trump release JOH now? Because the US empire lost control over Honduras in 2022, when the left-wing Libre Party came to power. So Trump and Marco Rubio have been openly meddling in Honduras' 2025 election, to put the right-wing National Party back in power. The National Party was JOH's party. It works closely with drug cartels.

It is impossible to overstate the hypocrisy of the US empire. The US supports the worst drug lords in Latin America.

Meanwhile, Trump justifies his criminal war of aggression against Venezuela based on the absurd lie that he is "fighting drug cartels" -- while he openly supports the worst drug lords alive.

Washington's closest allies in Latin America are and have long been drug traffickers:
- Honduras' JOH
- Colombia's Álvaro Uribe
- Ecuador's Daniel Noboa (and his oligarch father Álvaro Noboa)
- Mexico's Felipe Calderón (whose security chief Genaro García Luna was a drug trafficker)
- Argentina's Javier Milei's drug-linked allies (like José Luis Espert)
- the CIA's Nicaraguan Contras

Venezuela and Cuba are lands of financial repression where it's hard for corporations to make money from state owned enterprises and health systems.

“If the people are awakened only at voting time and dormant afterward; if the people hear big slogans during elections but have no say after; if the people are favoured during canvassing but are left out after elections, this is not true democracy.” - Xi Jinping

🔴🔴¡No se dejen engañar por los medios chayoteros!
La reforma a la Ley del Agua no es contra los campesinos, es contra los grandes acaparadores que le roban el abasto a ciudades enteras.
En la reforma:

➡️Se reconoce el agua como un bien estratégico para el desarrollo de México.
➡️El Estado es el único que otorga concesiones.
➡️Se eliminan los cambios de uso.
➡️Se mantienen los derechos cuando se realiza una compra venta de propiedades con agua.
➡️Se fortalecen los procedimientos contra el robo de agua.
➡️Se crea el fondo de reserva de aguas nacionales.
➡️Ya no se podrá especular con el agua.
➡️Es falso que encarcelen personas por tener un pozo en su casa.

Se informó.
